But Jamie said that he also wasn't so keen on the Waltz.

"I get really upset cause in the Waltz you’re not allowed to look at your partner and I think that’s so rude," he said. "You can’t look at them and I’m like ‘I want to look at you’. It’s like having sex with the lights off - 'Turn the lights off and don’t look at me'."
